Richelle you don't have my crazy aunt and uncle pushing religion every time we see or talk to each other, I guess it was just the right time for that quote it made me laugh... I don't know if I would have liked it any other day :o)

BTW we lived off of about 27K in Idaho if thats helps, the cost of living was much better then :o) thats why I had to go back to work :o(

We could live very comfortably on that. I just started another position at my job and am working 32 hours a week so I will be making about 30k a year. We've been struggling on much less than that for about 2 years now so even 30k should be a nice change!

We would have to make some cuts, but I think we could do it. We live in a fairly HCOL area, however, we have little debt (no credit cards, car payments or student loans) and own several rental properties, so we don't pay a mortgage/rent; it's covered by our tenants so that really helps us out. DH's company (he's the owner) also pays for lots of extra work related stuff (his gas, our cable/internet, his phone, etc), so that cuts down on our costs. It's like extra money, but it doesn't come in his salary.
